She was sitting in another Cantina, trying to apply for a job once again. Raina had her hair pulled back in a pony tail that was neatly brushed back and made her blonde hair shine with illusion. He purple eyes showed the slight annoyance that she was feeling at having to be moved around again from another work place, but then again thats how her life was. Get a job, beat the crap out of a guy for touching her butt, and moving on to another location after getting fired. How many Cantina's had she worked in the past month alone? She'd stopped counting after the 4th.
|
Io Lee
|
Io came walking into the cantina. He could feel the energy come from everyone in the cantina but, the strongest came from the girl sitting at the bar filling out what looked like an application. Io was wearing, as usual, his brown robes with a brown cloak. His hair was longer then usual but, his goatee was still them same. He went over and sat next to the girl.
"Can I have a Air cake and a glass of Bribb juice please?" Io asked the bartender. The bar tender grunted.
|
RainaRose
|
Raina glanced his way, taking in his profile and seeming to say nothing to him. When the bartender returned he was reading over some papers and other things. "We don't have an opening." He grumbled and turned to leave.
"What do you mean you don't have an opening? The woman behind the counter said you did." Raina groaned.
"No opening." He repeated, then shuffled away.
Raina laid her head down on the bar, her beautiful blonde hair spreading out across her back. "Dammit."
|
Io Lee
|
"I'm assuming this isn't your first job?" Io said as the bartender threw his air cake and juice at Io. Io took a swift bite of the cake. "Airy" Io said sarcastically. "So what brings you to this region". Io asked the girl.
|
RainaRose
|
She looked up at him, her bright purple eyes tinted quiet worry which most could not detect. "No this isn't my first job." The moaned. Her stomach growled and her face changed to an irritated cross. "I was looking for work since I got thrown out of my last job." Raina's stomach growled again. "I'm gonna starve to death if I don't get a job soon."
|
Io Lee
|
Io patiently listened to the girl and tugged on the bartenders shirt. "Give her the same thing I got, and put it on my tab." The bar tender grunted again. "My name is Io Lee, or you could call me Master Io, doesn't make a difference. Do you happen to know the knowledge of the force?" Io asked as he wiped some crums from his goatee.
|
RainaRose
|
"I probably shouldn't state my X occupation." Raina muttered.
She was wearing a tight low-cut black shirt that gave a rather acceptional view of her rounded pale clevage. Her skirt wasn't a mini skirt but it was short enough that her legs were in perfect few, smooth, and the same pale color as the rest of her body. Her skin was flawless in its ivory color. Her boots were black and came all the way up to her knee. There seemed to be not much to this young woman that was different other than the large scar that could be seen on her back that peaked out of her shirt. It was a scar that went all the way down her back.
"What about you? Are you a force user?"
|
Io Lee
|
"Yes I am." Io said. The bartender gave the girl the food and drink. She looked at it as though she never seen food before. "The reason I asked is because you have the greatest energy source here, besides mine." Io reached down to touch his lightsaber. He hasn't activated it in the longest time.
|
RainaRose
|
She scarfed the food down like it was the last thing on earth. Some how she managed to make eating the food at a fast pace graceful. Raina was very clean, not messy in the least bit. Slowly, as she finished what she had been given, she looked at Io again, taking on his profile more carefully. Once the food was gone she took in a deep breath and sighed contently. She gave her attention to him.
"Thank you. So are you a Jedi?"
|
Io Lee
|
"Sure am." He took a long pause "I've had my share of seeing some of the greats. But didn't really get to know them. I spend most of my time in the library, if not there, I'm training my apprentice." Io said. He then took another bite of his cake.
|
RainaRose
|
Raina grinned. "You just fed a Sith Master dinner. I read a lot myself. If I'm not in a book, I'm working. If I'm not working I'm going hungry." She watched his face, waiting for his reaction.
|
Io Lee
|
Io grinned "That does not surprise me, I have a tendency to run into Sith wherever I go." Io took another bite. "But I am surprised you haven't attacked me yet."
|
RainaRose
|
"I have morals. You just fed me dinner, I'm not about to attack you for saving my life. I may be a sith but I'm not an idiot. My names Raina, by the way. Raina Rose." She held out her hand.
|
Crozeus
|
After a long day's training and study, Crozeus had determined it was about time he got a bit of r and r. He sauntered into the bar and ordered a Fofo. Spying Raina across the bar, he headed over. She was with a light sider he recognised.
"Ma'am," he bowed, acknowledging Raina's superior rank. He nodded his greetings to the Jedi as well.
"Master Io."
He had respect for the Jedi, they were remarkably powerful even though they hindered themselves with their refusal to use the Force to it's maximum potential. Some of them were perfectly nice people, and in all honesty Crozeus was rather enjoying this period of cease fire between the two factions.
|
RainaRose
|
"Hello Crozzie. So you an Io know each other? Thats new." She finished off to rest of her drink, looking over both the men with a respectful aprrecation. "So...Crozzie guess what?"
|
Crozeus
|
"We don't know each other personally, but I recognise him."
He smiled when he saw the look in her eye. "What?" He grinned.
|
Io Lee
|
"Yes, I recognize you though, but, I didn't know your name till now." Io said as he finished off his air cake and took the last sip of his juice. "So Crozeus, what brings you over here?"
|
RainaRose
|
Raina stared over both the men carefully. Was it ture that a Sith and Jedi member could talk so easily with one another without their sabers drawn. Her chest heaved as she gasped almost silently. "What is the world coming to? Can we really sit calmly without fighting? Am I, a Sith Master, so easily tainted by light?" Her eyes showed shock and respect for the Jedi (who was clearly at a disadvantage by the two).
|
Io Lee
|
"You can always find light in the dark." Io said to Raina. "Neither of you showed your aggressive behavior... yet." Io said as he turned to Corzeus.
|
RainaRose
|
Raina jokingly flinched forward, so the two of them were almost touching noses. Not one part of her body was actually touching him, but her breath was on his lips and his cheeks. She had moved with sudden swiftness, sudden carefulness, that it took many people who had been watching the display a moment to realize what was going on. Softly, in a voice that was seducingly low she said. "Am I agressive now?"
|
Io Lee
|
Io looked down on to her and whispered in her ear. "Not one bit." Io shook his head and took a deep breath as Raina slowly moved away. "You do forget that I'm a Jedi?"
|
RainaRose
|
Shivers ran down her spine so suddenly at his voice that she didn't realize she had physically shuddered. She reached up, pulling her pony tail from her hair. Golden waves shimmered down her neck, cascading in a perfect sun colored wave across her back. The blonde hair complemented her pale skin, letting her relax. "How old are you Io?"
|
Io Lee
|
"I'm exactly 44 years.How old do you think I was?" Io asked with curiosity. "Not too many people get my age right."
|
RainaRose
|
"I thought you were in your 20's...." Her eyes were wide, curiousity evident. "Well, I'm older than you." She smiled.

Fog walked in the cantena with his hand over his right arm like it had been hit by a lightsaber  And sat down next to Io and Raina and orderd a drink from the ladie
|
RainaRose
|
Raina, with her golden hair trailing along her shoulders, glanced his way and smiled at him warmly. "Your a sith aren't you?" She asked, expectingly, her beauty over flowing the Cantina.
|
ardw1217
|
Yes i im how did you know?
|
RainaRose
|
((You must use quotes hun. Hee your like Charles, he hates quotes))
"I'm a Master, I can feel it." She saw his arm and her eyes went wide. "What on earth happened! Bandages now!" She called over to a waitress who was passing by. Quickly the woman dashed off and was back with the bandages in her hands, shoving them to Raina. "Let me see."
|
Crozeus
|
Io and Crozeus were in conversation while Raina dealt with the newcomer.
"I'm not doing much at the moment. Lord Invictus told me that I had no need for training, unsurprising really, considering what I've been through." He laughed dully. He was just two years younger than the Jedi Master, who had clearly never left his Order.
"So I just hang around, training myself in new techniques and keeping fit, studying, and drinking myself into stupors, until I get promoted."
|
ardw1217
|
As raina took off the bandege they started to talk about y she was there
|
RainaRose
|
((Can as a Favor Austin?))
|
Io Lee
|
"That doesn't sound like Invictus. I think he is starting to get lazy. Is this seriously a place for Sith to hang out?" Io asked both Crozeus and Raina.
|
RainaRose
|
"Hang out? Well, considering I haven't seen or spoken to Invictus in a number of years I can't say. I left the order a long time ago, pretty much right after my promotion to master. I'm a rouge."
|
Crozeus
|
Crozeus smiled slyly. "Is this a place for Jedi to hang out?" He countered.
|
RainaRose
|
"Oh does it matter?" Raina snorted, giving Crozeus a once over again. "Didn't I spar with you before I left the order?"
|
Crozeus
|
Crozeus nodded. "You did indeed."
|
Divarin Arhain
|
Divarin's entryComing through the archway of the catina a dark figure standing only 5'4", his figure masked by a long raven coat with armored shoulder pads and a hood asking his face in shadows. Divarin stopped fo a moment and concentrated during that moment to mask himself in the force so as not to be detected. Once Divarin was ready he moved further into the catina, his movement revealing his katana style lightsaber hilt.
Divarin made his way to a booth not far from Master Lee, though he wore heavy boots Divarin moved as quietly as an assassin. Divarin wasnt here for pleasure though, he was hunting. a warlord who had comited several acts of genocide often visited this catina and Divarin merely knew it was a matter of time.
One of the bar maids came up to him in the mean time and asked what he would have Divarin looked her into the eyes with his own. His dark green emotionless eyes caused her to step back for a moment. before she was scared off to badly Divarin handed her a piece of paper with his drink order.
A short time later the bar maid came back to Divarin with a Echani ale. Divarin began to sip the ale as he waited for the fight that was to come.

RainaRose

The room suddenly grew quiet as the doors opened and a woman emerged from the outside world into the dark catina. No male could take his eyes from her and the women in the room, even Raina, grew bitter of her as she gracefully strolled along the walk way the the bar. She was dressed in a long, flowing white dress that waved at her side as she walked as if the wind itself was dancing around her beauty. No woman, though try as they wanted, could match her. She had florecent violet eyes that regaurded every person in the bar with a glance. Her hair was a deep blonde one the top and the under side was a dark black. Her face was smooth and ivory white, almost chisled to perfection.
The owner of the catina went to server her himself. He was a gastly man, with a stark face and beady eyes. "What can I get you?"
The womans eyes rose to meet his and as if her beauty from far away wasn't enough, up close she was a porcilen doll. "Water please, and Paste soup." Her voice was soft and calming, it reached out and grabbed a hold of the male populace in the room, forcing those with less manners to grin lick their lips. When the woman say this, she looked away in disqust.
"Coming right up." And the own was off.
Two bar stools down, Raina sat, watching the woman was obvious envy and disdain. Raina was only 2nd in looks compared to that "goddess". She continued to sip on her water, watching the woman out of the corner of her eye.
|
Crozeus
|
Crozeus looked at the new comer and then back to Raina. Anger was practically oozing out of her in waves. He smiled and leaned in to whisper.
"Jealous?" He wanted to start a fight between them. It was always good entertainment.
|
RainaRose
|
"Shut up! Of course not!" She punched him in the arm, glaring angerily with her eyes gone from blue to purple. The woman looked over at them, her eyes glazed. It was as if she had herd them speak to her even though she was accross the room. "I never get jelouse!" Raina sneered, glaring at the woman, who merely turned away.
Some how, the woman managed to seem lonely.
|
Io Lee
|
Io smiled "Never? It seemed as though you were jealous" Io laughed.
|
RainaRose
|
"I am not!" Raina fumed, glaring at them both and crossing her hands over her chest in an un-lady like manner. "I have twice what she does!" Raina sneered. The woman looked over at the three, a timid smile coming to her lips as she looked them over.
|
Io Lee
|
"Yes it is jealousy. Snapping, face is red. Yep I've seen it all." Io said.
|
RainaRose
|
Raina grabbed him buy the scruff, pulling him closer to her. "You want to bet your life on it bub?" Her eyes flashed red. Then she let him go just as suddenly as she had grabbed him. "Hey, you. Come'er." Raina snapped at the woman, who looked up with confused eyes. After a moment of staring, she blushed and timidly pointed to herself. "Yes you." She got up and walked over to them, sitting next to Raina.
|
Divarin Arhain
|
under his hood Divarin smiled at the trouble being caused by the people around Master Lee as he sipped from his Echani ale. Divarin did wonder why hasn't Master Lee picked up on his signature in the force, Given the connection they shared as student and master.
None of that mattered at the moment as Divarin spotted his mark. It was a heavily Tattooed Dug came walking through the archway and was flanked by several Queequay and all of them armed to the teeth. Divarin merely smiled at the challenge to come.
Divarin merely sipped his ale some more and decided he would wait until the dug and his thugs grew complacent and drunk to strike. Until then he would simply enjoy the dark jedis interacting with Master Lee.
|
RainaRose
|
((Master Io darling. He doesn't go by Lee, but Io.))
The woman brushed past Divarin to get to Raina, and she sat down quietly. Raina's eyes suddenly snapped to the new comers in the catina. Silently she wondered who they were but then dismissed it as nothign important. Up close, this woman was even more beautiful that Raina had orginally thought. She wasn't a force user but she was force sensitive. "Name's Raina." Raina held out her hand and the woman gently shook it, still smiling timidly.
"I'm Ayngel." Raina was thinking "that fits" as she let go of the woman's hand, staring at her. She did look like an angel.
|
Io Lee
|
((Don't worry Raina it's fine, he has always called me that.))
Io knew his old apprentice walked in. He felt his presence even when he was just outside of the cantina. He saw the young girl walk over to where Raina, Crozeus, Fog and Io were sitting. He felt that she was force sensitive but is was weak. She said her name was Ayngel.
|
RainaRose
|
((Great post Io. -.- lol.))
"What brings a fine person like you to these slums?" Raina asked, looking to woman over with silent contempt. Ayngel didn't seem to notice, she was too busy smiling.
"Oh, I was passing through and I thought I would stop in to try it." She glanced over her shoulder, expecting some one to be standing there. Her eyes said that she was fearful of it. When no one was there she turned back around, smiling at the group.
|
Crozeus
|
Crozeus narrowed his eyes. From experience, attractive women usually had an ulterior motive. There was more than the reason she gave as to why she was there, but he was content not to ask. It would be revealed, in that he was confident.
|
RainaRose
|
Raina felt the same but when she scanned the woman she felt no malicous intent of any kind. She shot Crozeus a suprised look and then her eyes fell back on Ayngel. "That dress is pretty. Its awefully hot for long sleeves and a dress that long?" Her eyes flickered to something that looked like worry, but her smile contained it.
|
Divarin Arhain
|
Divarin felt Ayngel brush past him, the touch allowed him to since her connection to the force. It was weak but it was there either way she did not pose much of a threat, not even her beauty.
Ayngel was nothing compared to his sister Verena. It had been a long time since he enjoyed the touch of her warm pale skin and the intoxicating smell of her hair. Her eyes burned a bright purple witch where framed inside a angel like face. Divarin did miss his love, taboo though that love might be.
Still Divarin still waited to take down the dug and his queequay thugs. They seemed to be enjoying there drinks but where still on guard. Divarin did know like and good war lord and his army of thugs soon the drink would make there weak minds even weaker. Divarin still know he would be in a fight and he looked forward to it.
Divarin still wondered when Master Io Lee would come over and make discussion with him, considering it had been almost a year since they last meet. Divarin surly knew he had alot to discuss with his maser given what he has done since leaving the order to follow the force.
|
RainaRose
|
((Ayngel is engineered to be beautiful, you don't understand.))
Raina suddenly glanced at Ayngel's neck and her face wen from the utter malicous envy to complete sorrowed guilt. No wonder. On the woman's pale neck was a celtic decorated DH right on the back of her neck. It was black, seemingly a tattoo. Somehow, the ink made the woman's apperence more intesifying and eletric. Smiling sympathetically Raina leaned over Aygnel, resting her hands under her chin. For severl moments blue eyes clashed with violet.
"Your a Doll, aren't you?"
Ayngel's eyes flickered to grief. "Not any more. I served my time. How could you tell?"
"Un godly beautiful, the symbol on your neck. Its obvious."
Ayngel looked away, her face grown into worry.

Sephiroth

So Leon had sat in the back of the cantina, watching everything unfold. He'd blocked out his Force aura so no one could detect him, and now was the time to make his move.
"Raina, where have you been all this time my love?" His whisper was carried with the Force. To his one and only. His forever.
|
RainaRose
|
Her eyes snapped to him, standing abruptly and searching the Cantina with fevered worry. She sank back down in her chair, dusting such a thing off as her fabricating something that was not truely there. A sudden sadness came over her as she stood. "I...I'm going to get somthing to drink." Raina moved to the bar, "Tea please!"
|
Crozeus
|
Crozeus tore his sea blue eyes away from the strange beautiful woman and turned to his friend.
"Are you okay?" He asked, concern clear in his voice.
|
RainaRose
|
"Fine... Its nothing. Just thought I herd something, but it was my imagination." Raina waved her hand, dismissing the idea. She sat down next to him, worry evident on her face.
"What was it like? Being a doll?" Raina asked Ayngel, trying to ignore her instincts that his voice had been real.
|
Sephiroth
|
Leon shook his head slowly, she'd never change. "Of course I'm real Raina. Look...in the back on the Cantina. Third table from the window." Sipping on his drink, he waited for her to respond. She couldn't stay away from him, and he couldn't stop thinking about her. It was perfect, and neverending. It was love.
|
RainaRose
|
((You miss me))
Raina tensed, staring stright ahead of her and attempted not to act as if she had heard him. No its not... she thought to herself, trying to ignore the sensation of his voice on her skin.
|
Sephiroth
|
Well, if she wasn't going to come to him, then he'd go to her.
"Raina, it's been to long. Why haven't you kept in contact with me?" He was standing about ten feet behind her, and he could see she was tense. But why? Did he make her nervous?
|
RainaRose
|
Whirling around Raina let her eyes flicker to his face, searching for some sign that this was all a dream with in her imagination. Ayngel leaned over, staring at Raina's face and at the stranger who had entered.
Raina growled at him. "What the hell are you doing here?"
|
Sephiroth
|
"I've been looking for you for a while Raina. No need for hostilities, I didn't come to harm you. I missed you." He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a holopad. "I got this message from you a while back, saying you needed me to come back. I'm here now."
Of course if she tried to attack him he'd just Force Push her out the window.
|
RainaRose
|
"What? How long ago was that!? Years ago? At least 4 years ago!" Her face twisted in anger, glaring at him and growling low in her throat. "Its your damn fault I'm even in this frakking mess!" She stepped away from him, staring at him with dark eyes.
|
Sephiroth
|
"I had to take care of the Sith that were after me. Their organization was massive, and I was all over the place trying to find them. If you'd like I'll take you away from here." He quieted down and waited for her answer. He loved her.
|
RainaRose
|
"Can't you tell now?" Raina smirked. "I AM a sith! You were a Sith too! What happened!"
|
